Maintenance Assistant Releases MA Connect API

Cloud-based Maintenance Assistant, a provider of software to oversee machines running smoothly, has created the MA Connect API to integrate those capabilities into third party Apps. The idea is to facilitate the interaction between software and hardware so that it is automated.

As President Daryl Sedgman commented, one objective is to make it possible to build apps for Maintenance Assistant fast:

We’ve been working closely with our beta customers and partners to develop our MA Connect™ API and have created an elegant solution to integrate our CMMS into existing corporate infrastructure, unlocking its true power. In addition, with the release of MA Connect™, developers or even start-ups will be able to quickly and cost effectively build their own CMMS on top of our platform to address new markets.

Walking that tricky line to ensure accessibility combined with security, the API was built with several SDKs in mind. Developers, who can create a sandbox account for building their own applications, have a large market in front of them as the range of machines managed by software is increasing exponentially.
